Possible candidate responses:

  1. Solves it (too smart for job)
  2. "That's bullshit, who needs this for a $14.50/hr job?" (too intolerant of bullshit for job)
  3. Tries to solve it but fails (lacks self-awareness for job)
  4. Knows they can't solve it so doesn't even try (too lazy for job)
  5. Doesn't understand the question/comprehend what a hypercube is (too dumb for job)

Maybe they're trying to weed out all actual applicants because they're hiring the boss' kid.

You forgot option 6, spew a bunch of techno bubble at the HR person who will definitely not understand the problem themselves and wouldn't be able to tell if you'd answered it or not.

That's just response 1 from the perspective of the HR person scoring it.

I'd argue that 3 and 5 are actually selection qualities for a job paying that low, with a question like that. The rest are all dis-qualifiers of course.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
